About MeThis spray of artificial flowers was worn by Georgina Cantlay on her marriage to John S Pirie in 1911.Two wired stems hold cream mock orange and lily of the valley on stiffened cotton, cream leaves sprayed with glitter and 5 silvered paper leaves. They meet at a central rose made of cotton and wax. The spray was possibly intended to fix to the bride's bodice or waist. It was worn with a wedding dress and cream kid shoes also held within the collection.
